If someone from Australia buy there and send to us, do we still need to pay tax? I don't understand that tax procedure thingy. Help please?

Looks amazing, but how's the extra bulkiness?

Anybody with both dbrand and the Ringke Rearth fusion can comment on how they play together? I'm scared the added thickness will affect the placement of the buttons, leading to hard to press buttons.

Dbrand is very thin. It wont affect the fit of the fusion case. Plus, the fusion case has a gap between the glass back and the plastic back. I have owned the fusion case but I sold it. Now I have the dbrand leather and im gonna pair it with my favorite bumper, poetic borderline. I have not installed yet my dbrand. It is very thin.

Definitely can whatapps. To my knowledge, it does not support video call, though you can use third party apps (eg. Skype, Tango, etc.).

anyone using official/non-official bumpers ?
does the phone feel bulkier in general after putting the bumper case on?

i'm using Nexus 4 LG Google E960 Defender Durable TPU Tradesman Silicone Case Cover Stand | eBay and it feels super bulky

any iphone5 owners beside me here feel that after owning Nexus4 android jelly bean 4.2.2, seems that android has indeed caught up with iOS if not already better?

a few things i like about Nexus4/android which i feel Apple iPhone is losing out...
1. better apps integration, ie. sharing of links, pictures, etc. among apps - eg. cant share stuffs to other installed apps directly, ie. WhatsApp.
2. better proportioning of screen size - bigger more shiok to see. iPhone screen smaller nevermind but certain apps are still runs at iPhone4 size really stupid and makes me wonder the purpose of elongated size...
3. speed wise - i did not find any lagging like i used to on gingerbread and ics. probably because of project butter on jelly bean. really great improvement i would say. but feel now with the ability to control/watch over memory, i always got the feeling that android uses more memory.
4. build-in/3rd party installable Swiping keyboard - i find this a really cool & original feature. comes built-in with jelly bean.

im sure you guys have other nice things about nexus4 or latest jelly bean, do share.

also one negative thing ive heard is android's security vulnerability issue. seems to me that not very safe to do ibanking on android?

overall, i think nexus4/android is a great phone besides battery cannot last as long as my iPhone5, probably compensate for bigger screen. it also has no LTE - not that it really matters to me for the price i paid.

i downloaded juice defender and bought the ultimate version.
when it's on standby it can last for v long. but when i use 3g + google maps it drained like mad.
but i just bought the app today so i'll have to monitor..

and yes, i switched from iphone 4 to nexus 4 and never looked back again

yours def looks super uber duper bulky~!

so far so good using mine, (refer to pics posted below)
doesnt add much bulk + offers sufficient protection (that being said, if a tank rolls over it, it will still crack)

the case covering the buttons is responsive and just a simple press will do

so far so good

plus the rear is transparent, can show off the big NEXUS word

from my POV for such "battery saving apps"

when i first used my xperia arc, i also used juice defender ultimate.
but i realised it didnt help much, even if it does, its too insignificant for me

plus it keeps running in background too (taking up RAM and battery)

thats why since then i didnt use any battery saving apps nor task managers



but thats few years back thou

Im using the poetic bumper. Its the best IMO. I like how it hides the chrome bezel completely unlike the official bumper. The front lip is significant and the buttons are tactile. Slimmer profile than the original.
